Editor's Notes

  • #5 Intel needed to consolidate multiple web content repositories into a single Customer Information Platform (CIP) by migrating and transforming unstructured data from thousands of intranet web pages. They also wanted to improve product launches by syndicating information to websites around the globe.
  • #6 Painlessly integrate content from multiple CMS systems and even unstructured, hard-coded HTML AUTOMATICALLY. Radically reduce manual labor, greatly improve accuracy, and NO CONTENT FREEZE. Kapow can load into any database or CMS with a single-click.==External and internal integration of info – in an easy way. Bring together solutions, which were not developed to act for a network. Example MTU project with A400MMULTIPLE CMS SOURCESStructured or unstructured data
  • #9 Ancient – No automation, brute force cut and paste, no reliable completion date, error filled.Traditional – Semi-automated, 20% automation, manual script writing, no reliable completion date, error filled, requires tons of process.Innovative – Fixes all of these problems and more.
